WBO Super Featherweight Champion Emanuel Navarrete (39-2-1, 32 food) defends its belt against unbeaten little known number 1 on May 10 on May 10 in the Pechanga Arena San Diego.
In the co-function, lightweight contender Raymond Muratalla (22-0, 17 food) battle for the vacant IBF interim belt of 135 pounds at Zaur abdullaev (20-1, 12 food).
This battle should be the most important event on this map as Muratalla is an emerging star. This game is much more interesting than the head liner. Muratalla is trying to get a world title shot, but has so far been ignored by the champions.
The Muratalla against Abdullaev and Navarrete vs. Suarez event is shown Live on ESPN and ESPN+, start at 22:00 Et/19:00 pm pt.
Welterweight contender Giovani Santillan (33-1, 18 COs) also fights on the map that Angel Beltran (18-2-1, 11 COs) is fighting in a 10 round. Fans know Santillan of his knockout loss to Brian Norman jr.
Suarez, 36, is from the Philippines and competed in 2016, but lost to Joe Cordina. As a pro, Suarez beat one notable fighter, Yohan Vasquez, by a ten round decision in 2023. Vasquez dropped Abdullah Mason twice in their exciting battle on November 8 last year. Unfortunately, Suarez is not fighting like Mason. He is a boxer and will try to go out Navarrete.
It is difficult to predict what Navarrete, 30, will look like in this fight, because he was trained by Denys Bernchyk last year and lost a 12-round decision on May 18 in a fight that was a rash for the Ukrainian.
Navarrete looked chubby in that battle and 100% empty. He also performed poorly in his collision against Robson Conceicao, but on November 16, 2023, got a controversial 12-draw in their fight.
Navarrete jumped back from his loss to Berinchyk to stop the past his best Oscar Valdez in the sixth round on December 7 last year, in which many box fans considered a useless Rematch at business level. Emanuel has already easily beat Valdez through a unanimous 12 -round decision in their first fight on August 12, 2023, and there was no point at all except for money purposes, for the two to fight a rematch in 2024.
“San Diego is an incredible fighting village, and we are excited to return with Emanuel Navarrete, who will go as one of the big Mexican champions of his era,” Promoter Bob Arum said. ‘Charly Suarez is a determined, unbeaten contender that will make everyone rejoice in the Philippines. Raymond Muratalla is an elite lightweight, but has a long task against Abdullaev, which has been on a tremendous run for several years. “
